Changelog

Every release that shipped to production, in reverse chronological order. Sourced from CHANGELOG.md in the repo — same file the team writes against.

  1. Unreleased

    In progress

    DevX

    • husky pre-commit runs lint-staged (eslint --fix on staged code) + tsc --noEmit; commit-msg hook nudges Conventional Commits, blocks one-word vague subjects.
    • GitHub issue templates (bug, feature, deal-data correction) + PR template + Dependabot config (weekly npm, monthly Actions/Docker, grouped major-bump bans).
    • CONTRIBUTING.md and CHANGELOG.md (this file).

    feat(catalog): US units — lb / quart / fl oz

    Changed

    • Pet food renormalized to cost per lb, motor oil to cost per quart, haircare to cost per fl oz. Remaining category units unchanged (page, diaper, cartridge, ml). cost_per_unit values in the DB recomputed to match.

  3. 2026-07-09

    feat(relaunch): OutletPicks all-category pivot

    Added

    • All-category relaunch: supplements-only catalog replaced by 313 active deals across 8 categories — printer ink, pet food, grooming, baby care, skincare, automotive oil, haircare, fragrance.
    • Cost-per-unit engine: every deal normalized to its category unit and ranked by real cost per unit; daily price-refresh cron keeps the figures current.
    • Price-drop tracking (/this-week) and side-by-side compare tool (/compare).
    • 8 category buying guides on /guides, bylined OutletPicks Editorial.

    Changed

    • Legacy supplement guides noindexed and removed from hubs; supplement-era routes (/nutrients, /best/*, /cheapest/*, /stacks, /tools/*, /glossary, …) redirect or noindex.

    perf: caching + N+1 + fonts + edge SWR

    Performance

    • listDeals collapsed N+1 — single LATERAL jsonb_agg round-trip.
    • In-process cached(key, ttl, loader) helper. Applied to countActiveDeals (5 min), /api/health (10 s), HotStrip top-6 query (30 s).
    • /vouchers, /free, /discussions now revalidate = 60 for ISR.
    • Caddy @publicHtml + @feeds + @manifest matchers add edge cache + SWR; @go keeps no-store for click counter.
    • Geist sans + mono get display: 'swap' + explicit fallback stack; adjustFontFallback: true on sans for CLS.

  5. 2026-04-29

    • scripts/health-alert.sh cron-friendly Telegram/Slack alerter with state file dedup; systemd .service + .timer (every minute).

  7. 2026-04-29
